@Op, u shld have tried to put pictures. Most of these names sound alien to me

It pained me to see City lose at white hart lane. I'd have loved to taunt Arsenal by letting them watch Robin Van Persie lift the premier league trophy at the Emirates

I really dont hate any club but when it comes to players, Angel Di Maria tops that list.

I could still remember the pain he caused me in the final of the Olympics; Beijing 2008. I woke up as early as 4am to watch the match between Nigeria and Argentina and Just when i thought the game was going to penalties; Oh, Di Maria broke my heart

7. The Layers Of The Atmosphere


One fact about the universe revealed in the verses of the Qur'an is that the sky is made up of seven layers.
"It is He Who created everything on the earth for you and then directed His attention up to heaven and arranged it into seven regular
heavens. He has knowledge of all
things."
(The Qur'an, 2:29)

"Then He turned to heaven when it was smoke. In two days He
determined them as seven heavens
and revealed, in every heaven, its own mandate."
(The Qur'an, 41:12)

The word "heavens", which appears in many verses in the Qur'an, is used to refer to the sky above the Earth, as well as the entire universe. Given this meaning of the word, it is seen that the Earth's sky, or the atmosphere, is made up of seven layers.

6. The Protected Roof
The atmosphere only lets rays
required for life reach the Earth.
Ultraviolet rays, for example, make it
to the world only partially. This is the
most appropriate range to allow
plants to make photosynthesis and
eventually for all living things to
survive.
In the Qur'an, God calls our attention to a very interesting attribute of the sky:
"We made the sky a preserved and protected roof yet still they turn away from Our Signs.."
(The Qur'an, 21:32)
This attribute of the sky has been
proved by scientific research carried
out in the 20th century.
The atmosphere surrounding the
earth serves crucial functions for the
continuity of life. While destroying
many meteors big and small as they
approach the earth, it prevents them from falling to earth and harming living things.
In addition, the atmosphere filters the light rays coming from space that are harmful to living things. Interestingly, the atmosphere lets only harmless
and useful rays- visible light, near
ultraviolet light, and radio waves pass through. All of this radiation is vital for life. Near ultraviolet rays, which are only partially let in by the atmosphere, are very important for the photosynthesis of plants and for the survival of all living beings. The majority of the intense ultraviolet rays emitted from the sun are filtered out by the ozone layer of the atmosphere and only a limited-and essential-part of the ultraviolet spectrum reaches the Earth.
The protective function of the
atmosphere does not end here. The
atmosphere also protects the earth
from the freezing cold of the space,
which is about minus 270° C.

The Sex Of The Baby

Until fairly recently, it was thought that a baby's sex was determined by the mother's cells. Or at least, it was believed that the sex was determined by the male and female cells together. But we are given different information in the Qur'an, where it is stated that masculinity or femininity is created out of "a drop of sperm which has been ejected".
"He has created both sexes, male and
female from a drop of semen which
has been ejected."
(The Qur'an, 53:45-46)
In the Qur'an, it is said that
masculinity or femininity are created
out of "a drop of semen which has
been ejected". However, until fairly
recently, it was believed that a baby's sex was determined by the mother's cells. Science only discovered this
information given in the Qur'an in the 20th century. This and many other similar details about the creation of man were stated in the Qur'an centuries ago.
The developing disciplines of genetics and molecular biology have
scientifically validated the accuracy of this information given by the Qur'an.
It is now understood that sex is
determined by the sperm cells from
the male, and that the female has no role in this process.
The Y chromosome carries characteristics of masculinity, while
the X chromosome carries those of
femininity. In the mother's egg, there is only the X chromosome, which determines female characteristics. In the semen from the father, there are sperms that includes either X or Y chromosomes. Therefore, the sex of
the baby depends on whether the
sperm fertilising the egg contains an X or Y chromosome. In other words, as stated in the verse, the factor determining the sex of the baby is the semen, which comes from the father.
This knowledge, which could not have been known at the time when the Qur'an was revealed, is evidence to the fact that the Qur'an is the word of God.

Three Stages Of The Baby In The Womb

In the Qur'an, it is related that man is created in a three-stage process in the mother's womb.
"... He creates you stage by stage in your mothers' wombs in a threefold darkness. That is God, your Lord.
Sovereignty is His. There is no god but Him. So what has made you deviate?"
(The Qur'an, 39:6)
As will be understood, it is pointed
out in this verse that a human being
is created in the mother's womb in
three distinct stages. Indeed, modern biology has revealed that the baby's embryological development takes place in three distinct regions in the mother's womb. Today, in all the embryology textbooks studied in faculties of medicine, this subject is taken as an element of basic knowledge. For instance in Basic Human Embryology , a fundamental
reference text in the field of
embryology, this fact is stated as
follows: "The life in the uterus has
three stages: pre-embryonic; first two and a half weeks, embryonic; until the end of the eight week, and fetal; ftom the eight week to labor.

5. THE BIRTH OF A HUMAN BEING
Many diverse subjects are mentioned in the Qur'an in the course of inviting people to believe. Sometimes the heavens, sometimes animals, andsometimes plants are shown as evidence to man by God. In many of
the verses, people are called upon to turn their attention to their own
creation. They are often reminded
how man came into the world, which stages he has passed through, and what his essence is:
"It is We Who have created you. Why,
then, do you not accept the truth?
Have you ever considered that (seed)
which you emit? Is it you who create
it? Or are We the Creator?"
(The Qur'an, 56:57-59)

The creation of man, and the
miraculous aspect of this, is stressed
in many other verses. Some items of
information within these verses are so detailed that it is impossible for
anyone living in the 7th century to
have known them. Some of these are as follows:
1. Man is not created from the entire
semen, but only a very small portion
of it (sperm).
2. It is the male that determines the sex of the baby.
3. The human embryo adheres to the mother's uterus like a leech.
4. The embryo develops in three dark
regions in the uterus.
People living when the Qur'an was
revealed, to be sure, knew that the
basic substance of birth was related to the semen of the male emitted during sexual intercourse. And the fact that the baby was born after a nine-month period was obviously an observable event not calling for any further investigation. However, the items of information just quoted were far above the level of learning of the people living at that time. These were verified by 20th century science.
Now, let us go over them one by one.
A Drop of Semen
During sexual intercourse, 250 million sperms are emitted from the male at a time. The sperms undertake an arduous journey in the mother's body until they make it to the ovum. Only a thousand out of 250 million sperms succeed in reaching the ovum. At the
end of this five-minute race, the
ovum, half the size of a grain of salt,
will let only one of the sperms in. That is, the essence of man is not the whole semen, but only a small part of it. This is explained in the Qur'an:
"Does man reckon he will be left
uncontrolled (without purpose)? Was he not once a drop of ejected semen?"
(The Qur'an, 75:36-37)

As we have seen, the Qur'an informs us that man is made not from the entire semen, but only a small part of it. That the particular emphasis in this statement announces a fact only discovered by modern science is evidence that the statement is divine in origin.

In the picture below, we see
semen ejected into the uterus. Only
very few sperms out of 250 million
sperms emitted from the male can
make it to the ovum. The sperm that
will fertilise the egg is the only one
out of a thousand sperms that have
managed to survive. The fact that man is made not from the entire semen, but only a small part of it, is related in the Qur'an with the expression, "a drop of ejected semen".

3. THE SEAS NOT MINGLING WITH ONE ANOTHER
One of the properties of seas that has only recently been discovered is
related in a verse of the Qur'an as
follows:
"He has let loose the two seas,
converging together, with a barrier
between them they do not break
through."
(The Qur'an, 55:19-20)
This property of the seas, that they
come together yet do not mingle with one another at all, has only very
recently been discovered by oceanographers. Because of the
physical force called "surface tension", the waters of neighboring seas do not
mix. Caused by the difference in the
density of their waters, surface
tension prevents them from mingling with one another, just as if a thin wall were between them.
The interesting side to this is that
during a period when people had no knowledge of physics, surface tension, or oceanography; this was revealed in the Qur'an.


4. THE IDENTITY IN THE FINGERPRINT


While it is stated in the Qur'an that it
is easy for God to bring man back to
life after death, peoples' fingerprints
are particularly emphasized:
"Yes, We are able to put together in perfect order the very tips of his
fingers."
(The Qur'an, 75:3-4)
Everyone, including identical twins,
has a unique fingerprint. In other
words, people's identities are coded
at their fingertips. This coding system may also be compared to the barcode system that is used today.
The emphasis on fingerprints has a
very special meaning. This is because everyone's fingerprint is unique to himself. Every person who is alive or who has ever lived in this world has a set of unique fingerprints. That is why fingerprints are accepted as a very important proof of identity, exclusive to their owner, and are used for this purpose around the world.
But what is important is that this
feature of fingerprints was only
discovered in the late 19th century.
Before then, people regarded
fingerprints as ordinary curves without any specific importance or meaning.
However in the Qur'an, God points to the fingertips, which did not attract anyone's attention at that time, and calls our attention to their
importance-an importance that was
only finally understood in our days

Fourteen centuries ago, God sent
down the Qur'an to mankind as a
book of guidance. He called upon
people to be guided to the truth by adhering to this book. From the day
of its revelation to the day of
judgement, this last divine book will
remain the sole guide for humanity.
The matchless style of the Qur'an and the superior wisdom in it are definite evidence that it is the word of God. In addition, the Qur'an has many miraculous attributes proving that it is a revelation from God. One of these attributes is the fact that a number of scientific truths that we have only been able to uncover by the technology of the 20th century were stated in the Qur'an 1,400 years ago.
Of course the Qur'an is not a book of science. However, many scientific facts that are expressed in an extremely concise and profound manner in its verses have only been discovered by the technology of the 20th century.

These facts could not have been
known at the time of the Quran's
revelation, and this is still more proof
that the Qur'an is the word of God.


1. EXPANSION OF THE UNIVERSE
In the Quran, which was revealed 14 centuries ago at a time when the science of astronomy was still
primitive, the expansion of the
universe was described like this:

"And it is We who have constructed
the heaven with might, and verily,
it is We who are steadily expanding
it."
(The Quran, 51:47)

The word "heaven", as stated in this verse, is used in various places in the Quran with the meaning of space and universe. Here again, the word is
used with this meaning. In other
words, in the Qur'an it is revealed that the universe "expands". And this is the very conclusion that science has reached today.

Until the dawn of the 20th century, the
only view prevailing in the world of science was that "the universe has a constant nature and it has existed since infinite time". The research, observations, and calculations carried out by means of modern technology, however, have revealed that the universe in fact had a beginning, and that it constantly " expands".
At the beginning of the 20th century,
the Russian physicist Alexander
Friedmann and the Belgian cosmologist Georges Lemaitre
theoretically calculated that the
universe is in constant motion and
that it is expanding .
This fact was proved also by
observational data in 1929. While
observing the sky with a telescope,
Edwin Hubble, the American
astronomer, discovered that the stars and galaxies were constantly moving away from each other. A universe where everything constantly moves away from everything else implied a constantly expanding universe. The observations carried out in the following years verified that the universe is currently expanding.


2. ORBITS

While referring to the Sun and the Moon in the Qur'an, it is emphasized that each moves in a definite orbit.
"It is He Who created the night and
the day, and the sun and the moon.
They swim along, each in an orbit. "
(The Quran, 21:33)
It is mentioned in another verse, too, that the Sun is not static but moves in a definite orbit:
"And the sun runs to its resting place. That is the decree of the Almighty, the All-Knowing. "
(The Qur'an, 37:38)

These facts communicated in the
Qur'an have been discovered by
astronomical observations in our age.
According to the calculations of
experts on astronomy, the Sun is
traveling at the enormous speed of 720,000 kilometers an hour in the direction of the star Vega in a
particular orbit called the Solar Apex.
This means that the sun travels
roughly 17,280,000 kilometers a day. Along with the Sun, and all planets and satellites within the gravitational system of the Sun also travel the same distance. In addition, all the stars in the universe are in a similar
planned motion. That the entire universe is full of paths and orbits such as this one, is written in

Understanding the arabic Language does not mean one understands the Quran.


The majority of the people assume
that if one understands the Arabic
language, it means he is capable of
understanding the Qur'an. They are
also quick to dismiss anyone who has
a point to make about the Quran's
verses, if they are not an Arab or do
not speak Arabic. A consistent feature
of these sorts of people is that they
themselves know little about the
Qur'an because they never attempt to
research the Qur'an directly. This is
because of an intentionally induced
inferiority complex of not knowing
Arabic which gives them the excuses
they need to stay distant from the
Qur'an, as well as due to some other
vain excuses. They never attempt to
understand the verses of the Qur'an
themselves. All of their views on the
Qur'an are formed entirely by
following other people and texts
written by those whose trust they
assume. They have only read the
Qur'an's verses in text books in the
context created by their trusted
writers, or otherwise read the Arabic
verses in ritualistic recitation, or in
prayer without understanding them.
Sometimes, he feels he has done
enough by reading the translation of
the few verses he recites frequently in
prayer.
As stated above, their excuse is that
the Qur’an is not in their language
and only an Arab or an Arabic speaker
can understand the verses. The truth
is however far from their mistaken
beliefs. A believer can understand the
Qur'an and live by it even while
possessing little or no Arabic
knowledge.
History is witness to many people who
are proficient in the Arabic language,
yet made very twisted and perverted
interpretations of the Qur'an, all while
they are accepted to be well skilled by
the majority. The majority being the
group we have identified above. These
interpreters of the Qur'an consider
themselves Muslims, yet made
countless erroneous interpretations -
even while knowing Arabic. This begs
the question, does knowing Arabic
mean one can understand the
Qur’an? The disbelievers of Makkah
were expert in the language of the
Qur'an, but they did not understand
many of the concepts and similitudes
of the Qur'an. They thus rejected it as
being words of a madman.
What one needs to comprehend is
that understanding the Qur'an means
to understand correctly what is being
told in the verses, the concepts,
lessons, signs, admonitions
metaphors and imagery. All of these
aspects of the Qur'an hold true
regardless of the language used.
When one does not understand the
Qur'an, that is, makes erroneous
interpretations, he is incapable of
understanding these lessons,
admonitions and true purposes of the
verses. One may even be in
possession of great Arabic skills, yet
be incapable of understanding the
verses due to his or her lack of
comprehension of what is being told
in the verses. We can compare this
with the following scenario. Imagine
you are explaining a concept to
someone in perfect English. The
person you are explaining to can also
understand English perfectly.
However, due to a lack of
comprehension on their part, that
person fails to understand what you
are explaining to them despite your
perfect explanations in English and
their ability to understand the
language. Likewise, the same can be
said about the Qur'an. Even an expert
Arabic speaker may well be incapable
of understanding and interpreting the
verses correctly as a direct result of
that missing comprehension. This
comprehension is given by Allah to
whoever He pleases. A verse identifies
this:
"...But the disbelievers say, 'what
does Allah mean by such a
similitude?' Through it, Allah
misguides many and He also guides
many. But He misguides only the
rebels." (Qur'an 2:26)
The comprehension we have
mentioned is actually a gift from Allah
to His sincere believers only. A
believer who does not know Arabic
may be endowed with this ability to
understand the Qur'an. When the
verses of the Qur'an are explained to
him by another true believer in his
language, he grasps them correctly,
even though he does not know
Arabic. And it is probable that a
person fluent in Arabic could not
understand the same verses correctly
even in his own language. Skill in the
Arabic language did not afford him
the true interpretations of Allah’s
verses, and so he remained bereft of
Allah’s guidance. Another person who
is a more sincere believer could
understand the verses, even though
he did not speak the language of the
Qur'an. Allah explains this 'veiling of
perception' in a verse:
"When you recite the Qur'an, we
place an invisible barrier between
you and those who do not believe in
the life to come. We have put
covers on their hearts that prevents
them from understanding it, and
heaviness in their ears." (Qur'an
17:45-46)
That is why a true believer can live by
the Qur'an without knowing Arabic. It
is true that a non-Arabic speaking
believer will need to overcome the
obstacle of language, but with his
sincerity and motivation, he
overcomes them without difficulty.
Today, there are many translations of
the Qur'an available in almost any
language. It is possible to draw a fairly
accurate understanding of the Qur'an
by studying different translations.
In conclusion, people who speak
Arabic do not automatically posses
the comprehension to understand the
meanings of the Verses of the Qur’an.
The comprehension is given by Allah
to whom He wills regardless of ones
language. All people who consider
themselves Muslim must not hide
behind excuses from gaining a first-
hand understanding of the Book
revealed by Allah, which is a guide,
mercy and cure for them if they only
make the effort to understand it
themselves. Allah has held everyone
responsible for adhering to the
Qur'an, regardless of their spoken
languages.






Reference; www.Quranicpath.com

I followed Justaqad's thread, www.nairaland.com/1184712/losing-identity-arabs .Even without making a comment, i totally agree with him.

Just yesternite, i had a discussion with a friend concerning the use of arabic by Nigerian muslims. I told him i dropped out of quranic school simply because i felt it was a waste of time. Nigerian arabic
schools only teach arabic and not the understanding of the holy Quran. I also asked, why do muslims pray in Arabic? and why do most preachers preach in arabic.

His reply: Arabic is the language of the holy Quran and thereafter should be used for everything in Islam. He supported his claim with a simple quranic verse,
Quran 12:2 " We have sent it down as an arabic Quran so that you people may understand/ use reason".

Does this verse indicate superiority of the arabic language?? Did a little reseach.

The Quran is sent as a guidance to mankind. The language of scriptures as and when they are sent down to different generation and region is in the language of the messenger and the people who are immediately around him.

Quran 14:4, "We have not sent any messenger except with the language if his people so he can make things clear to them. Allah misguides anyone he wills and guides anyone he wills. He is the almighty, the all wise.
Thus for those caught in the disbelief at the prophet's time, it was a great blessing that Allah sent a magnificient scripture in their language which they could understand and use their reasoning over.

Quran 65:11, "A messenger, reciting Allah's clear verses to you to bring those who believe out of the darkness into the light. Whoever believes in Allah and acts righteously , we will admit him into gardens".

The verses on sending the Quran should be perceived in this light. Had the quran been in a
foreign language, it would not be
possible for the speakers of the
language who received it or the
messenger, to take its message to the
world. In other words, although the
Quranic message is for the world, this
verse is more specifically addressed to
those who understood the language
(..."so that you may understand" )
...emphasising on appreciating what
would have happened had it been in
a language other than their tongue.
This is proved in the following verse;

"So We have revealed an Arabic
Quran to you, in order that you may
warn the capital city and all who live
nearby..." (Qur'an 42:7)
"We have made the Qur'an easy in
your language so that they may take
heed it." (Qur'an 44:58)
"If We had made it a foreign Quran,
they would have said, ‘If only its
verses were clear! What? Foreign
speech to an Arab?’ Say, ‘It is
guidance and healing for those who
have faith, but the ears of the
disbelievers are heavy, they are
blind to it, it is as if they are being
called from a distant place.’ (Qur'an
41:44)
So when Allah says:
"We have sent it down as an Arabic
Qur'an so you people may
understand / reason" (Qur'an 12:2)
We can clearly see it is in reference to
the above verses - to the blessing that
Allah revealed clear wisdom and
guidance in a language they can
understand and be able to reason
over (Arabic).
Therefore, Verse 12:2 (and 43:3) are
not classing the Arabic language as
being linguistically superior to other
languages of the world, nor do they
mean to indicate any intrinsic linguistic
qualities of the Arabic language over
others as being the motivational factor
in its choice. Yet, it is wrongly taught in
great many literature that the Arabic
language has been divinely shown or
praised in the Qur'an for its qualities -
which is followed on by other
exaggerated claims like it being the
language of Paradise etc.

A misunderstanding of 41:44
"If We had made it a foreign Quran,
they would have said, ‘If only its
verses were clear! What? Foreign
speech to an Arab?’ Say, ‘It is
guidance and healing for those who
have faith, but the ears of the
disbelievers are heavy, they are
blind to it, it is as if they are being
called from a distant place.’ (Qur'an
41:44)
This verse is in reference to the
immediate people who heard the
Qur'an, describing the scenario had
they heard the Qur'an in a foreign
language. Some people assume it is
in reference to all people, thus they
think the portion:
"...they would have said, ‘If only its
verses were clear (literally
'detailed / explained ْﺖَﻠِّﺼُﻓ)!'
...is an exclamation from all people of
all languages. In other words, they are
saying, if the Qur'an was non-Arabic,
then a speaker of that language
reading the Qur'an in his language
would complain that the Qur'an was
not detailed enough because it was
not in the Arabic language. This is a
highly unfeasible and unrealistic
understanding because why would a
man reading the Qur'an in his
language make such a claim?
Consider a parallel scenario where
you are reading a very enjoyable book
in English, what are the chances of
you wanting the book in, say, Chinese,
given:
1) You are reading, enjoying and
understanding an eloquent Book.
2) Nothing is lacking in this language
to not be able to describe any ideas.
3) You have no knowledge of the
foreign language to even compare
(assuming you do not speak Chinese!)
No doubt, such an explanation is
completely irrational. Their intention
behind this understanding is to
explain 12:2 and 43:3 as references to
Arabic as a linguistically superior
language, which is as we have seen,
something the verse is not trying to
indicate.

Going through the posts here, i could only come to one conclusion.[b]Seun needs to conduct an IQ test before people are allowed to post comments[b]

This got me confused.
Dear poster, are you insinuating that Jesus is GOD?

Why am I not surprised??
Some people would come up with imaginary stories just to deface Islam.


Besides there are already enof flaws in the post.

jackbauersballs: Religion makes a fool of anyone who lets it.

This Judge forgets that Youtube is an important tool for dissemination of ISLAMIC material as well.

Dundee United.

Indeed!!!

A reply to that Movie was made by Aligarh Muslim University and uploaded on Youtube but it was banned and removed a day after. I'd have loved to share the video here on Nairaland but i dont know any other platform to use except Youtube since Youtube keeps banning the video each time i upload it.

The reply eradicates all accusations against Islam and Prophet Muhammad(Pbuh) with enough proof and evidence yet it was tagged as been Offensive.

The movie was very stupid. They claimed Prophet Muhammad had 61wives and many girlfriends, Muslims forced non-muslims to pay tax, Islam teaches to kill Non-muslims.
Can someone explain this part of the movie where a companion said,"We will burn the houses, loot the families, kill the children,take the girls.....Hail Islam".

If Islam really teaches to kill non-muslims, am sure many people wouldnt make it this far.

pointblank 321:

How could Muhammad be the prophet to be raised for the children of Isreal moving from Egypt to Canan?

Was he among the Isrealites in the journey? Was he born then? How was he to be made a prophet to replace Moses. Joshua was the prophet raised to replace Moses. Was Joshua not their brethren?

A prophet like Moses means a prophet to lead the children of Isreal from their captivity in Egypt to freedom in Canan. Moses prophethood started and ended with leading the children of Isreal out of Egypt and a prophet like him would do exactly his job after him. How did Muhammad fit in here?

Comforter (Holy Ghost):
The same Jesus who talked about the Comforter said it was the Holy Ghost. Do you know better than Him? Do you have a better idea than Him on the subject He raised? Do you see His mind clearer than Himself, the owner of the mind who said the Comforter is the Holy Ghost? Why do you what to change His statement?

This idea of Muhammad being the Comforter is a new development following attack on his prophethood. To get legitimacy for him, muslims started calling him what he is not.

Where did the muslims get that doctrine from? Why is it not in the quran or any of the original hadiths? I don't think all these fabrications can make people believe Muhammad was a true prophet. It rather drives people far away from believing because of lies found in the claims.

Perhaps there are two comforters in the Bible as this comes to mind.
John 14:16. "And i will pray the Father, and he shall give you Another comforter, that he may abide with you forever".

Here is the Quranic verse you asked for.
Quran 61:6 " And remember, Jesus, the son of Mary said, O children of Israel, I am the messenger of Allah sent to you, confirming the law which came before me and giving glad tidings of a messenger to come after me, whose name shall be Ahmed".

Relate this with my previous post

Thanks for your apology.

Let me state the correct interpretations of the Bible passages you quoted:

Deuteronomy 18:15 & 18
Mose was leading the children of Isreal out of Egypt to Canan. Mose was getting old and there was need for a yonger prophet to lead the children of Isreal. So when Moses died, Joshua was appointed (Joshua 1:1-2). The prophesy was not referring to Muhammad because he was not an Isrealite to lead the children of Isreal to Canan and he was not yet born to assume that duty.

Isaiah 29:12
The statement here is a proverb. 29:11 says ''And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which MEN (not an angel like Gabriel) delivered to the one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he said, I cannot, for it is sealed''.

29:12 - ''An the book (the same book delivered by men in verse 11 above) is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray: and he said, I am not learned''.

Gabriel that commanded Muhammed to read did not come with any book as the Quran was not yet written then. Quran was revealed by recitation and not in a written form at the beginning. The book referred to by the Bible was delivered by MEN and Gabriel did not deliver any book and even if he did he was not a man or men. Therefore the Bible was not referring to Muhammad.

The Comforter:
So much has been said about this subject and there should be no further argument. Firstly, the Comforter is the Holy Ghost not a human being like Muhammad (John 15:26).

In Acts 2:1:4 the Comforter, Holy Ghost manifested to the disciples as Jesus had promised. Acts 2:4 says ''And they were all filled with the 'Holy Ghost (Comforter), and began to speal with new tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance''. The promise of the Comforter was already fulfilled before Muhammad was born.

Therefore there is still no confirmation for Gabriel's message to Muhammed.

Looking at Deuteronomy 18:18 once again. It said a prophet like Moses from among their brothers.
Prophet Muhammad(pbuh) is from among the bethren of Moses(Pbuh). Arabs are bethren of jews. Only Muhammad falls in this category.

Who is the comforter?
John 16:7, "Nevertheless i tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that i go away; for if i go not away, the comforter will not come unto you; but if i depart, I will send him unto you".
Ahmed or Muhammad meaning "the one who praises" or "the praised one" is almost a translation of the greek word Pericletos. In the Gospel of jOhn 14:16, 15:26, 16:7.The word "Comforter" is used in the English translation for the greek word Paracletos which means advocate or a king friend rather than a comforter.
*Paracletos is the warped reading of Periclytos*. Jesus actually prophesised Ahmed by name. Even the greek word "Paraclete" refers to the prophet who is a mercy for all creatures.


You said the Comforter refers to the Holy Spirit. You fail to realise that the prophecy stated clearly that only if Jesus(pbuh) departs will the comforter come. The bible states that the hOly spirit was already present on earth before and during the time of Jesus(pbuh), in the womb of Elizabeth and again when Jesus(pbuh) was being baptised etc. Hence this prophecy refers to none other than the prophet Muhammad(Pbuh).

John 16:12-14
" i have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Albeit when he, the spirit of Truth IS TO COME, he will guide you unto all truth; for he shall not speak of himself but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak; And he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me"
The spirit of truth refers to none other than Prophet Muhammad(Pbuh).

Surprised some people have never heard about this drug..
Its popularity has risen since the Cynthia Saga

Do you expect me to believe what you just wrote?
The site which happened to be your source is a Muslim hating one.
Perhaps u could come up with a more legitimate statistics/link.

pointblank 321:

People who worship the true God don't abuse others.

God spoke to confirm His message earlier sent through the true angel Gabriel in Luke 1:35 that Mary was going to have a son who shall be called the Son of God.

What confirmation did Gabriel that spoke to Muhammad have that he was from God?

Sorry for the other time. Looking at the bible, they have been prophesised.

Dueteronomy 18:15
" The lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your brothers, it is him you shall listen to"

Deuteronomy 18:18
" I will raise up for them a.prophet like you from their brothers. And i will put my words in his mouth and he shall speak to them all that i command him" ....Remember this was God talking to Moses

Isiah 29:12 " And when they give the book to one who cannot read saying, 'Read this', he says, 'I cannot read'. ... In the Quran, when Angel Gabriel commanded Muhammad(pbuh) by saying Iqra-Read, he replied,'I am not Learned.


These are some of the prophecies from the bible of Prophet Muhammad's coming.
None of the prophet in the bible falls under this since they were descendants of Isaac while Muhammad(Pbuh) is from their brothers, a descendant of Ishmael.

Check the book of John, he was called the Spirit of Truth while Jesus also called him " The Comforter"
